This is more an overview of my life than an in-depth analysis of it or of anyone who has been a part of my life. Though the telling is as I remember it, that does not mean it is the history as my family or friends may remember it. As with all humans, my memory is wrapped by my own experiences and is tinted by those lessons learned and those yet to be accepted. Since naivety, or at least believing in everyone I meet before judging them, has been my way of living, I chose the title of LIVING LIFE FULLY. I think that because Dad and most of my older relatives were always so pragmatic and overprotective, impressing on us all to mistrust everyone and especially those of the opposite sex, I tended to go the other way, to the detriment of my own pocketbook but to the advantage of having experiences I would not otherwise have enjoyed and some I wished I had missed. Though time and learned knowledge have agreed with their analyses of around 75% of my life, the remaining 25% has given me the freedom to feel young at my current age of 70, because I still see life as a learning experience without parameters of fear and distrust instead of love and caring.
